My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
Hello, I am a conservation biologist who has been lucky enough to work for some of the biggest eNGOs in a number of counties. I am very interested in threatened species recovery and am currently the director of the Chagos Conservation Trust that aims to conserve the incredible species and ecosystems of the Chagos Archipelago.
